Wantworthy| My Wishes #1

Today I'm here to talk about such a cool website called Wantworthy. It's basically where you list all the clothes, products and things you want which remain on your wish list. Once signed up, you drag the 'WANT' tab to your tool bar and simply click that button when on the page of a product you want, and it will save it for you. It's so much more simple than making endless amounts of lists and also trying to remembering what you'd like. As I have had mine for a while, I have gathered and vast amount of desired items which I thought I'd share with you today. However I will do this in stages as there is lot, but its just a nice way for people to see what's out there on the market.

Dress Me Up| Summer Picks

Happy Wednesday

Today I thought I'd bring you my top summer dress picks

Summer is all about the dress whether it be long and short there is a style for everyone and whatever colour suits you. Every girl should have a dress they reach for in the beautiful weather. I've chosen a selection with a variety of prices, colours and styles so hopefully this could lead you in the right direction if you need some guidance. 

(I shall add links of where to purchase at the end)

Beautiful Butterfly| Boohoo

This first piece is a Maxi Dress from Boohoo.com, it completely depicts summer, with gorgeous butterfly and flower imagery of the material. It is a chiffon material so very light and floaty for the warmer weather and I feel this adds to the elegance of the dress. The dress is a little see through, so I'd suggest going for nude underwear/bodysuit underneath. The back is open to about the mid-back with a twist in the bottom of the neck which just makes it a bit more exciting. I'm in fact going to my sister in laws baby shower/BBQ this weekend, and this is my chosen outfit which I feel compliments the occasion nicely.

Beautiful back detail

Perfect Pink Lace| H&M

The pretty pale pink skater dress is perfect for any occasion for both Spring and Summer. Its delicate lace detailing creates a extremely dainty effect exposing just the top of the chest. This adds some definition and breaks up the plain pink throughout. This too is a floaty chiffon material so lovely on warm days. It comes to just above the knee and cinches in at the waist, which is accentuated when you actually wear it to the picture.  The back has extended lace down the back with a fastening button at the top. This actually looks really nice with light coloured skin tight jeans or leggings on the colder days, whatever you fancy, it's easy to dress up or down. Equally it looks awesome with a simple pair of wedges.

Denim Florals| Primark

So in love with this skater dress from Primark. The floral pattern looks great on top of the denim look blue and it looks great with a tan. It's a very flattering dress as it cinches in at the waist however it is slightly on the short side and because I'm tall it looks shorter than it is, so I tend to wear little shorts underneath just in case. There is just a simple zip at the top of the back, but remains plain at the back. I personally wouldn't pair this with any extra trouser or legging options. Looks great with a simple pair of flat sandals or plain wedges.

Plain Peach|Boohoo

This is another perfect summer colour, pastel peach is so in at the minute. It does look great with a tan and compliments any skin colour. It is quite low in the front showing some cleavage (cheeky!) This too is a skater dress therefore to accentuates to waist. This one is a little longer than the others so slightly more appropriate to wear at more formal occasion. This is a jersey material so not always a great material to wear in the hot weather however you can get away with it without any other garments underneath. This is a very flattering dress and looks nice with a cream blazer or cardigan for when the sun goes down.

Nail Varnish| Summer Picks

Summer isn't summer without a pop of colour on the nails and I definitely have my summer favourites  Some pastels, some bright, all depending on the occasion and what I'm feeling like. I am sure I can speak for most women when I say I get so bored of colours quickly and change my nail colour on a regular basis, but I almost constantly have a colour on my nails, without fail.

Nice is Nice

Essie| Nice is Nice
This is beautiful pastel lilac colour for a very subtle accent on the nail. It's extremely versatile and looks great with any outfits where pastel coloured clothing are the main pieces. Essie nail polishes are re-nound for being such a lovely coverage, whereby 1 coat is probably sufficient. It is a very pleasant summer colour and not to bold if your wary of bright coloured nails, this would definitely be one to consider. Complete girly girl shade and I will definitely purchase some more Essie polishes.

Coral Reef

Models Own| Coral Reef
I am super in love with this colour. It's a true reflection of summer and if your feeling fearless of colour this is definitely a must have. Beautiful bright coral goes with any outfit to give it a pop of colour. Brilliant thing about Models Own polish is that it stays on for a fairly long while and doesn't chip, but only if you use a base and top coat. Top coat helps to give it a finishing glean. Great to jazz up a monochrome look, Coral is totally an 'in' colour for nails.

Beach Party

Models Own| Hedkandi Beach Party
Now if you thought the previous Models Own polish was bright and the definition of a summer party, think again... this tops them all! This special range 'Hedkandi' reflects the ultimate Ibiza vibe. I can't even explain how bright this this, and honestly it will be the first thing people see! I made the brave mistake to wear this to work one weekend and its all people talked about (haha). They have a great range of party colours that for this summer if you are heading out to 'get on it' make sure this is on your to buy list! I myself will rock it in the good 'ol English rain *fist pump the air*

Ice Crush

Topshop| Ice Crush
The classic, Ice Crush, which ultimately everyone loves and owns and rightly so. Goregous on its own, or over the top of a bright colour just adds that extra bit of glamour to the nails no matter the occasion. Even more beautiful when the sun glints and highlights the holographic glitter fragments to complete the perfect sparkle. Perfect for a night out under the disco lights but even for more casual outings, you can keep it subtle or dramatic, it really doesn't mind. This is a total winner!

Has no name... how dare they.

Primark| Nail Collection
Primark have out done themselves with these surprisingly awesome nail varnishes. Amazingly pigmented and actually make your nails look great! This polish came in a pack of 4 for about £2, so complete bargain  However brought them last year so hopefully they still have some in. Its a perfect blue to have on the nail and plus it is not too bright. Not everyone has a blue in their summer collection, but I do!

Still no name...

Primark| Nail Collection
No collection would be a collection without a pink and this is the perfect for any occasion. Looks beautiful all year round especially summer. This also came in the same collection as the prior varnish and once again, so pigmented and very sweet. The definition of a girly colour:)

Do you have any favourites? If so comment below please,

 I'd love to try some new colours, broaden my horizons as it were!

Fragrance| My Collection/Reviews

Over the years I have tried numerous perfumes, consisting of a mixture of love and hate. Some repurchases and some I haven't even bothered to use (naughty of me).

When it comes to a fragrance, it has to be bang on. As well as my own opinion, I do take into account others views, especially my boyfriend. If he likes it, it's a keeper. If one of my friends comments on it, then I know its worth a repurchase. 

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not the sort of girl to jump on a band wagon and follow a trend of a scent; I simply hunt them out by myself.

So my collection is a mixture of day to night out scents and it will be extended, however for now this is how it will stay for the remainder of 2013.

Excuse the Yankee Candle, just embracing my desk set up haha

1. Paco Rabanne| Lady Million

My oh my, by far my favorite perfume of all time, it's perfect in every way. Sophisticated, classy yet a real womanly scent. Its a completely warm, sexy fragrance that every girl should have in her collection. It is luxury in a bottle, and goes hand in hand (if you don't mind me saying) with the Paco Rabanne 1 Million mens fragrance, which I love. It suits any occasion, time of year, I can't fault this. All time favorite and something will have to be out of this world to top it, what more can I say, oh not to mention I love the advert... (do it again!)

2. Versace| Vanitas
Originally had the tester for this perfume and... it smashed when I went on a trip to London, ever since my bag has smelt lush! On the other hand, I felt it was only right to purchase it again, however it is on the pricey side. The scent is powerful but beautiful, and honestly 1 spray would last for the whole day. As you can see I have used a lot of it already, but it is something I don't think I could get bored of. Very classy nonetheless, well obviously it's Versace.

3. Hollister| Addison
Right now, this is my 'go to' perfume. It is amazing! Generally the scent of all Hollister shops, as me and my boyfriend picked one up to tester, a member of staff was spraying the shop with the same one! Even after having this for months my boyfriend will always comment how nice I smell when I wear this. It's a winner with the boys clearly so why not, perfect first date perfume! Its subtle, yet fruity and sweet! Summer in a bottle. I love it and a 100% repurchase is on the cards! Well done Hollister

4. Givenchy| Dahlia Noir
This is a tester I received as part of a monthly Glossybox and was hugely impressed, Givenchy!? How sophisticated! At first smell its very strong, a bit to strong as I'd prefer, however when on the skin it lingers really nicely and it remains subtle throughout the day. I love it when your walking along, and the wind blows and you can smell your perfume. Reminds you how good you smell, (is that vain?!) haha. Not too sure whether I will repurchase this, mainly because it will take me forever to use this up. It is more of a night scent and I rarely go on nights out (BUT YOUR A STUDENT! I can hear everyone shout! pahaha). Lovely though!

5. Yves Rocher| So Elixir Purple
Similarly, this was also a tester. To be honest I'm not raving my bits off over this, but it is nice, for a splash of something different! Quite strong and powerful so definitely a night smell like out to dinner etc. As of yet, no comments on the perfume, so maybe that's telling me something haha. However this is the first Yves Rocher perfume I have tried so wasn't to sure what to expect exactly.

*All of these descriptions are my own honest opinion. All of these available in most beauty related/fragrance shops, just google them, prices vary everywhere dependent on 'ml' you'd like*
